I'm not sure what exactly is going on here, but why not simply
establish a tunnel using ssh(1) and then invoke your Python script
separately? You simply point your script at a database on localhost,
after establishing a tunnel from local 3306 to remote localhost:3306.
No need to play with Python crypto.

Alternatively, can you use PostgreSQL instead? :)
